AMD new Fusion Dual core 1.6 Ghz APU Processer with ATI 6310 graphics engine.
-Should be able to playback 1080i material flawlessly
-Only 20-45 Watt usage(idle-BLuray playback)
-Low noise fan( Can also be disabled in bios - Maybe risky, though?)
Specs:
Radeon HD 6310 integrated graphics card
DirectX 11 support
AMD E-350 APU
2GB of 204-pin DDR3-1066 SO-DIMM slots RAM
250GB hard disk drive
Runs on Microsoft Windows 7 operating system
Integrated Gigabit Ethernet LAN
Wi-Fi 802.11n connectivity
3D visuals effect
Four USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports, eSATA, and S/PDIF
6 in 1 card reader (SD/SDHC/MMC/MS/MS Pro/xD)
D-Sub, DVI and HDMI connectors
For only ~250€/350$ - Zbox really seems reasonable priced.
What do you think of this? - Any reason NOT to choose this as the next HTPC?
The only bad thing I can find is the lack og PCI/PCIexpress ports - So if you need TV-server in one package, you need to go USB.
Would really like to see some benchmark on this hardware, but cannot find any except the one above.
Can't even wait to see what the AMD Fusion Krishna platform will perform(Quad core APU) - But we will have to wait for 2012.
Has anybody used a ZBox HD ID40?? What are the differences between the ID40 and the ID11 - I can only see that the processor on ID40 is slightly faster.
